Actually i want to add a function that can save all the html code from wysiwyg (what you see is what you get) Editor. And the code needed some transformation tag from <> to []. Is there anyway to do this? All in javascript. Thanks a lot. ;)

Hi Tan Soo Loon,

This function will convert your tags, just pass it the html...

Code:

function ConvertTags(pHtml){
    return pHtml.replace(/<([^>]*)>/g, "[$1]"); 
}

BTW, when posting in the future, could you give your topics a suitable title please e.g. "replace html tags" & not "urgent", that way people searching the forum in the future will be able to see whether or not a topic might help them (plus IMHO putting "urgent" as a subject is unlikely to reduce response times).

Kind regards,

Chris

Hi Chris,
Do you know how to convert back tags from [] to <>?
Thank you very much.

Hi Tan Su Loon,

This should do the trick...

Code:

function RevertTags(pHtml){
    return pHtml.replace(/\[([^\]]*)\]/g, "<$1>"); 
}

If you're going to be doing a lot of replacing of characters in strings, it might be a good idea to check out regular expressions, they may seem confusing at first, but once you get used to them they are enormously powerful.

Cheers,

Chris
